---------------------- US Productivity Increase a Bust for Workers: "U.S. businesses are cutting workers' hours and jobs at a pace that far outstrips the rate of the economy's contraction, generating a productivity boom that in ordinary times would be a welcome sign of healthy growth. It is a bit of mystery why companies are downsizing so drastically, but the consequences are clear. For Corporate America, it means a strong -although possibly fleeting - rebound in profits. For employees, it means a dismal job market is getting worse and may not recover any time soon." <http://www.reuters.com/article/topNews/idUSTRE56J3KL20090720> http://www.reuters.com/article/topNews/idUSTRE56J3KL20090720
